Patch to control kpdf saving document viewing metadata
by Darrell Anderson 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

I created and tested a patch to add an option in kpdf Settings->General to control whether kpdf stores viewing metadata files. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1215 The patch works for me in R14 GIT. I'd be grateful if somebody else would test the patch. I believe the patch is backwards compatible with 3.5.13.1, although not necessary for 3.5.13.1. Darrell

Testing tdebindings
by Darrell Anderson 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

With most Trinity packages, testing is straightforward: run the apps. Not so with tdebindings. To those who are familiar with how tdebindings works, please consider helping with writing a short wiki article for testing tdebindings. Or, help create a collection of scripts and prebuilt executables that demonstrate they bind/hook into Trinity. Thanks! Darrell

sudo-trinity
by Slávek Banko 16 Sep '12

16 Sep '12

Tim, I noticed that for R14 is in build-deps ready "better" version of sudo-trinity. I wanted to put this into v3.5.13.1, but there is a problem with the version number. Previous package sudo-trinity had a version derived from the original package sudo - for example 1.7.2p7-1. New package has version 1.0, but this making it the "older" than previous package. It would be possible to increase the number of "epoch" in package - for example to package version 1:1.0-1? Slavek --

kpdf/xpdf
by Darrell Anderson 16 Sep '12

16 Sep '12

If I understand correctly, kpdf uses xpdf as a base rendering engine. The xpdf code in the Trinity source tree uses 3.02 from February 2007, which has been patched for security reasons several times since then. There also is a patch to improve a scrolling speed bug that is caused by more recent gcc versions. The most recent version of xpdf is 3.03. Many distros have these patches applied or use 3.03. * Does compiling kpdf use an existing installed xpdf from the distro or does the build process only use the xpdf code that is in the kpdf source tree? * If the latter, then should we be patching the Trinity version of xpdf? Or updating to the latest release of xpdf? * If the latter, what is needed to change the build process to use an existing installed xpdf rather than the stale version in the Trinity sources? Darrell

R14.0.0 Branding issues
by Darrell Anderson 16 Sep '12

16 Sep '12

Considering the original volume of changes needed, we're about as okay as we can expect, but --- we still find branding issues. For example, today I found some more and I am pushing patches. To resolve remaining branding issues we need the following: * Some really smart person to grep the system properly looking for corrupt image files (png, xcf, jpg/jpeg, whatever else might be out there). We can't inspect those images for branding issues. For whatever reason, seems many of the images got corrupted with CR/LF issues. We have found most of the corrupt files (walch.martin found most of them --- I only pushed clean files), but I don't know of a good way to search the sources for corrupt image files. (Note: Corrupt image files do not block building packages, but they cause usability issues that reflect badly on us). * Some really smart person to grep the system looking for text strings containing KDE. I haven't figured out a slick way to search the sources for these branding issues. Again, I think we have found most but we continually find more, albeit a smaller number of these strings appear each time. The challenge is we *cannot* do a blind global search-and-replace. We are at the point where we have to review each potential suspect string in context to ensure we are updating human-viewable text strings and not code strings. * Some really smart person to figure out how the fifteenpieces applet About dialog is sucking in a KDE3 branded image (bug report 1052). I don't know whether the problem is limited to fifteenpieces or whether the image being used is a global default About image. One way or another we need to find that image and update. * Internationalization (tde-i18n) files are beyond me. I nonetheless have patched many of these files. Most of the changes have been in the nature of KDE->TDE, but I suspect that in those patches occasionally I presumed incorrectly and changed something that changed contextual meaning. I don't know how we are going to resolve the differences between the tde-18n files and the parent files in the main source tree (po files, *.desktop files, *.docbook files, etc.) Darrell

The latest TDEHW report
by Darrell Anderson 16 Sep '12

16 Sep '12

Time for a new thread. I have been beating myself up hard today troubleshooting some of the TDEHW quirks I have been reporting. I believe we have two separate problems. One is the "eject -T dvd" command stops working as soon as a disk is inserted. From what I gather online, this is a known bug and there is a patch. I haven't looked for the patch or tested. I verified the "eject -T" problem exists in Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5 too. Thus, "eject -T" is broken one way or another. The second problem is permissions. As root I tested Safely Remove with USB flash drives and Eject with an optical disk. The icons disappear for both, and the optical disk physically ejects. Although after the disk ejects the "eject -T dvd" command stops working until after I use the drive eject button. Then the "eject -T" command works. I can't figure out what the permissions problem might be. I don't see any special suid permissions on any of the TDE bin files or the eject command. Could the TDEHW code cause this behavior? Could pmount be causing this behavior? I never have used pmount before so I am a complete noob. Darrell
